Over 4800 troops are on the ground in Puerto Rico including hundreds of my fellow federal civilians from the US Army Corps of Engineers. More deployments to follow. There is a heavy prime power Brigade there and has been on the ground for over a week Dom. The infrastructure is/was totally destroyed. Chainsaws are being used simply to get to access for sites. The ports and airports are the priority and now up to 15 flights can now get in and out of PR while the military ports are open the civilian ones side took heavy damage. I won't go into the work already being done by FEMA and federal volunteers in Texas etc. You don't hear about all this effort on TV but you will hear about players who won't respect the national anthem.
Why is nobody hearing about this? This is all national response emergency framework in action. Is anybody aware of the logistics and manpower and funding it takes to respond to three hurricanes? It will take YEARS for the VI, PR and Parts of Texas and Florida to fully recover. Who controls all of this? The president. I don't agree with everything coming out of the administration and sometimes don't understand the logic or lack their of sometimes coming out of Washington these days. Dont believe everything you hear or read that the media only cherry picks what to report. Even Clinton weighed in on sending the Hospital ship Mercy today. Well no **** lady it's going to the VIs first. I'm not sure we're the ships hope and comfort are going but they maybe in theater to support Afghanistan and Iraq .

I see it as the president having a problem with those that disrespect the country.
Isn't that part of the job description? |

Exactly! I also understand the frustration on both sides. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/12/u...shootings.html All these protests and movements first against police officers and the stats don't lie. Sports players protesting about what they hear vs what is confirmed by a Harvard professor. Are there issues? You bet. In the era of social media everybody is now a victim. I and I'm sure a lot of Americans are just sick and tired of it.

So GC, rather than heralding the great work FEMA and the military are doing, rather than working to lower the temperature in Asia, we have a reality game show host fanning the flames of divisiveness among his own citizenry as if he's looking for ratings.That is not a leader.

Just like an equally qualified community planner last time. Sorry No I have not identified with a president since Ronald Reagan. This time was the lessor of the only two evils presented sad and true. I agree with where the priorities should be and I am baffled by all this BS.

Well, guess that explains where you stand. Perhaps OUR President ( who by your words above you fail to give respect to, but complain about his lack of it to their cause) was taking a break from trying to figure a solution to 30 years or more of appeasement to North Korea, that created the monster with bombs, which he now must deal with. How to resolve giving plane loads of cash, our tax dollars to the Iranians, who are helping Kim build his bombs while his people starve. Fixing a health care boondoggle that is soon to go bankrupt and take the insurers with it, stupidest plan ever conceived. Taliban tearing down history, oh no, our citizenry tearing down history Floods, Hurricanes, neighbors with earthquakes needing help. ETC. (times 1,000) So he turns on a football game, and sees a bunch of highly compensated athletes being disrespectful to our Flag, Anthem, and Country, and gets justifiably pissed about it. AND rather than speak up for our country, the liberal left, and others turn it into the work of the devil. Where is the outrage about the things written above? Why not spend some time on that. No, this is what some folks think is more important, getting down on a knee during our anthem. At least last night I hear they did it BEFORE the Anthem. Good! They exercised their right to be silly, but at least they did not trample on the rights of others. If 1% of the outrage would turn towards our elected officials to get off their butts and fix stuff, then the country would be far better for all of us. But no, they waste time on people who show no respect to their country and those that have served it. Some citizenry. Marty |

I'm afraid what we got this last presidential election was the "evil of two lessors".
Lets hope next time around the political parties can come up with better candidates truly capable of leading our great nation through these challenging times.
